      Dear All,

      I have configured OpenVpn in pfsense 2.1.5 with Ldap authentication and client connected successfully but i am unable to ping and access remote internal servers and host.

      Global IP of VPN Server          = 185.190.–----          ( this is example only for understanding )
      Remote Internal Network        =  172.16.0.0/24
      Home DSL Internet network    192.168.1.0/24

      I am connected from Home DSL to Pfsense OpenVpn and got IP= 192.168.168.3/24  but i am unable to ping 10.0.0.0/24  network servers and all hosts.

      what is going wrong why i am still unable to communicate as i have allowed in firewall to any any and also disabled firewall in remote internal hosts.

        Do you have a firewall rule at pfSense on OpenVPN interface which allow access?
        Can you ping the pfSense internal IP?

          Could you check if your client has a route to the subnet (server side) ?
          You can use the command route print on Windows (just guessing your SO).
          If it hasn't, just check you OpenVPN Configuration (Ipv4 local networks - 10.0.0.0/24)
          If it's correct probably you have to add some rules to the VPN interface on your firewall.

            I've just reading some docs and notice that if you are using Windows and a non admin user, maybe it wont work:

            f such a user needs to establish an OpenVPN connection (OpenVPN and OpenVPN-GUI are already installed) the connection will be established but the necessary routes are not set.

                So check the routing table on your Windows client as suggested above by trekkiebr.

                  yes after connected through VPN i can ping to pfsense firewall but cannot ping to internal network. routes are ok but missing default gateway.

                  it can be due to default gateway missing am i right..? if yes then what is the solution

                  Regards,

                    No way to help if we can't see the routing table. Sorry.
